AdGuard

NoLifer · October 17, 2021, 9:02am

Hi, I installed AdGuard but I can’t access it. I’ve checked

dietpi-services status and I got this error

Well you have stored user data on an external disk, right? And it seems AGH has issues to read configuration file due to permission issues. What file system format your external disk has?

Can you share as well following

ls -la /mnt/94BA918FBA916F0C/dietpi_userdata/adguardhome

NoLifer · October 17, 2021, 11:26am

My external drive has ntfs file system

for whatever reason your configuration file has no permission at all. Means nobody could access it and therefore AGH service is failing.

---------- 1 adguardhome adguardhome     2589 Oct 17 09:34 AdGuardHome.yaml

pls try following

chmod 600 /mnt/94BA918FBA916F0C/dietpi_userdata/adguardhome/AdGuardHome.yaml

The file should have r/w permission now. Try to restart AGH.

Thank you! It’s helped, everything is working now. Friend had same problem, looks like it don’t like ntfs system

Independent on the issue, just a question. Is there a reason to use NTFS? Because I would recommend to use Linux file system format ext4 if possible.

NoLifer · October 17, 2021, 12:15pm

The only reason why ntfs it’s because easy to acces files if I connect it to PC with Windows

Joulinar · October 21, 2021, 9:32am

ok indeed seems to be an issue using a NTFS drive. I will submit a change for next release to have correct permissions even if user data is located on NTFS.
